Whilst the boho aesthetic never truly goes away, we’ve seen its resurgence on the AW24 runways and it's like a warm, comforting nostalgia. This time around, it has a more mature feel.
We feel like we’ve been transported back to 2004, the era of disc belts, suede fabrics, prairie dresses and ruffled blouses, endlessly searching for pics of ultimate boho-queen Sienna Miller’s Glastonbury looks for style inspo.
As Gabriela Hearst said her goodbye as Creative Director at the SS23 PFW Chloé show, Chemena Kamali’s arrival was much anticipated for AW24, and we were not disappointed. The front row was lined with wooden and leather wedges, giving us a sneak peek of what to expect from the collection.
As the Chloé show unfolded, it was clear Chemena had single-handedly revived boho chic. Amongst the designs we saw ruffled blouses tucked into jeans, billowing chiffon dresses, wooden clogs all in neutral tones.
As fashion month went on, we saw other designers also tapping into the boho trend. At Isabel Marant we saw an array of fringed pieces and suede fabrics and Chanel style flowy dresses with knee-high boots, big bangles and cinched waists with belts.
However, if we look back to the SS23 and SS24 runways, we’ve seen the boho trend slowly creeping its way back into style. For SS24, Ermanno Scervino had an array of sheer fabrics, full suede looks, tiered maxi skirts, and layered gold jewellery. At Isabel Marant SS23 we saw chiffon fabrics, crochet finishes, ditsy floral prints and ruffles galore and in true Altuzarra style, we saw tie-dye patterns, gold disc detailings and studded sandals.
We did have somewhat of an indication we may see a boho revival following the popularity of Daisy Jones & The Six - set in the 1970s, so a lot of denim and printed, chiffon blouses were to be expected.
What is boho style?
The boho trend, deriving from the word bohemian, skyrocketed in the mid 2000s – although the style actually harks back to much earlier. In the late 1960s and early 1970s when the hippie counterculture was at the fore, a pointed rejection of formal silhouettes resulted in flowy fabrics, loose-fitting shapes, earthy tones and, naturally, a healthy dose of fringing.
Some key pieces that have come to epitomise the height of boho chic include suede and chiffon fabrics, embroidered peasant blouses, earthy tones and wedges.
